Can you say "understatement"?  I considered using actual gauges in my simpit, but they range from $150-$1,500 each, assuming you can even find them in the first place.

OK if your going to go to all that trouble, why doesn't he just build the real deal and go fly it for real.  Sheesh you know that guy hasn't gotten laid in a while lol.

Nice work tho.  Different Strokes I guess lol.

One of them is in the UK, the other is in the USA.

Also they seem to be fabricating all the parts themselves.

Getting steam gauges to work with electronic inputs will require a lot of tinkering and servos :P
